| Description: | James Suckling 97 Points - "This amazing Chateauneuf-du-Pape squares the circle of southern richness and spring-like freshness in spite of coming from a very warm and dry vintage. The stony minerality, saltiness and dried flower character wind together to form a dynamic whole, driving this gracefully across the palate. But I must also mention the savory and licorice richness that is so deftly wrapped around them. Very long, salty and velvety finish.". Decanter 96 Points - "Full, generous and broad. Acids are bright and vibrant, and there's a fine but dense weft of tannins through the wine. Great energy and salinity this year, this is particularly fine and balanced, with plenty of concentration and a long finish. All from La Crau and fermented in tronconic wood barrels. levage in foudre. Oldest Grenache bunches aren't destemmed.". **wine Spectator #7 Wine Of The Year** 94 Points - "In Chteauneuf-du-Pape, theres one vineyard that stands above the rest: the plateau of La Crau, covered in round stones (galets rouls). Domaine du Vieux Tlgraphe is the largest landowner in this coveted lieu-dit. Named for the signal tower that was used in the 18th century to telegraph messages, Vieux Tl (as its affectionately known) has been run by the Brunier family for six generations. Many Chteauneufs are blockbusters in power and alcohol, but the Brunier style is famously elegant and savory. Sourced from 60- to 110-year-old vines, the flagship 2020 red offers charming, old-school appeal, impressive depth and a long life ahead." |
